Telkom calls off Cell C acquisition talks

Moans about raising prices (aka not competing), yet doesn't think raising prices is none competitive... wonder what meme picture will suit that craziness best?

Listen to the argument. TM has a pattern of not competing. So them buying Cell C would be bad. Get it, mkay?

If you have a problem with Cell C raising prices by a few bucks then move. Nobody can or will stop you. It's a free market so vote with your feet if there's something you don't like.

How does TM's pricing compare to the other 3 MNOs? Contracts...

How is it irrelevant? When you signed up you must have known it was a promo and that it would expire at some stage. Or was it not initially a promo?

It's irrelevant as it doesn't change the fact that they are uncompetitive.

TM: 50GB - R1799
Cell C: 50GB+150GB - R1799
I don't care about the others as they are super expensive and voice pricing I'm not interested in saving a few cents per month between operators.

Still don't see a "pattern". Prove how TM has always had higher pricing than the other three MNOs to reflect this "pattern" you speak of and I might believe you. But you cannot so I won't. That you keep comparing your personal case where a promo ended is futile as a promo is just that, a special offer to attract new customers onto a network and it expires after a period in time.

It's not a personal case. Many were upset and affected. You're also forgetting that Cell C launched many "promos" always with better value so it became regular pricing.

You can deny the point all you want but the figures show there's a lot of room for them to increase prices without Cell C as they have shown they will do it even with Cell C.

You still have not provided proof of this "pattern" that you allege - excluding promo offers.
